I wanted to select range of notes, but with Platinum, it kicks into Properties (right click without highlighting the range of note/s).
 
Anyone experiencing this too ?

I need to re-do the above a few times, sometimes the notes are selected first try, and sometimes it takes a few range-select in order to really get into range select (without the properties kicking in).

Unless I'm mistaken, smply click-drag (left)

Click-drag left makes a new note then it follows the drag ... one of the dumb behaviours of the smart tool.   I really wish they'd devote some time to understanding how people use the tool for midi.     But right-click in an empty spot and drag a selecting rectangle should work for the OP.   Because it's a rectangle you have to plan ahead and for the first click you must hit either the top left or the bottom right of what will be the selection area. 
 
While on the dumb tool:  alt-left-click is an acceptable, if suboptimal, way to enter a note with a single click, but THEN the tool shifts to a weird scissors-thing, completely useless for midi.

It sounds like you don't have the Smart Tool selected. Perhaps you have the Select Tool selected? That would display properties on right click. If you have the Select Tool active, you left click and drag to select multiple notes. If you have the Smart Tool active, you right click and drag to select multiple notes.

I have/had the same issue as the OP. I didn't post because I thought it was me. After reading your post, DRanck, I was sure I had the Smart Tool selected. I loaded up a project with notes in the PRV and the Smart Tool was already selected. Right-click drag worked perfect every time. I clicked on the Select Tool and repeated the OPs described behavior.
 
So it appears, I did not have the Smart Tool selected before. What is strange is I never intentionally selected any tool before so I don't know why it is now working and not working before. I am just going to chalk this up to user error on my part and be happy I now know what to do.
 
Thanks for posting the solution (at least for me)!

Keni,
 
Left click by itself will position the now time to the location. 
 
Left click+drag will draw a new note on the piano roll.

I'm at the Smart Tool (star option) most of the time. I just did a test and making sure Smart Tool is selected.. and (edit : right -drag) left+drag did select note range as normal, but I did hit into the properties at least once. And I'm quite sure my hand is steady. It's like the more you range select, Sonar 'got' hinted that is what you want and do the right thing.. :)

I have rarely, if ever felt the need to use any tool other than the Smart Tool.

I'm still thinking there is some problem with it (if not, it must be my hand).. selecting large number of notes is fine. It's when you're trying to select one or two notes (sometimes selecting half of a single note) out of a bunch that you don't want to touch.. that's when the properties kick in.
